Meet Me in Mumbai | 
pickThis book is split in half, the first telling the story of a Indian teen living in Illinois who gets pregnant, and the second is her daughter growing up with an adopted family that doesn‘t look like her. I found the first half of the book exciting and I felt eager to read it but the second fell short. As the daughter comes into her own with her culture, the author attempts to also teach the reader some fun facts about India. ⬇️
